» Springtime on the Farm will be held 10 a.m.-4:30 p.m. at Heritage Hill State Historical Park, 2640 S. Webster Ave., Green Bay.

The event will recreate some of the typical chores and activities that would have occurred on a Wisconsin farm at the beginning of the 20th century. Learn how to pick and card wool, try your hand at stuffing a mattress, smell the aroma of pies baking in the oven, learn how to make cheese, churn cream into butter or use a schnitzelbank (shaving bench) to make shingles.

The event will include demonstrations and hands-on activities for the entire family, including "Addie the Cow." Addie is a life-size fiberglass milk cow that milks, moos and wears bells and flowers. Guests also can attend the annual pancake and porkie breakfast. www.heritagehillgb.org
